Philippines Economy
“The global economic rebound especially among the country’s trading partners,
will boost exports and increase remittances, strengthening recovery in the
Philippines,” said Ndiame Diop, World Bank Country Director for Brunei,
Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand. “The country can take advantage of
this development by ramping up vaccination and improving overall pandemic
response to control infection rates and boost consumer and business
confidence.”
The PEU notes that the resurgence of new COVID-19 cases and rising
inflation have derailed the early signs of economic rebound in 2021. As
lockdown restrictions eased in early 2021, people’s mobility stepped up, and
employment and earnings of families gradually improved. The better
external environment also led to an expansion in trade. However, the surge
in COVID-19 cases beginning in late March amid rising inflation derailed the
momentum for recovery.

worried about not having enough food for the ensuing days. Households
reported difficulty accessing health services due to a lack of income. Three in
five households cited this as a reason for not obtaining much needed
medical treatment.

Inflation
The slower pace in the inflation in June 2021 was primarily due to the
lower annual rate of increase in the transport index at 9.6 percent,
from 16.5 percent in May 2021. Moreover, inflation slowed down in
the indices of the following commodity groups:

Meanwhile, inflation rates were higher in the indices of food and non-alcoholic beverages at 4.7
percent; housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels, 2.4 percent; and restaurant and miscellaneous
goods and services, 3.9 percent.
The rest of the commodity groups retained their respective previous month’s annual growth rates.
(Tables 3 and 4).
Excluding selected food and energy items, core inflation, likewise, decelerated to 3.0 percent in June
2021, from 3.3 percent in May 2021. In June 2020, core inflation was posted at 3.0 percent. (Tables A
and 9)
Inflation for food index at the national level stood at its previous month’s annual rate of 4.9 percent in
June 2021. In the same month of the previous year, inflation for food index was recorded at 2.7
percent. (Table 7)
There were mixed movements in the annual growth rates in the indices of food groups during the month.
Higher annual increases were observed in the indices of the following food groups:
Corn, 5.3 percent;
Fish, 8.7 percent;
Oils and fats, 4.2 percent;
Sugar, jam, honey, chocolate and confectionery, 1.0 percent; and
Food products, not elsewhere classified, 1.4 percent.
On the other hand, annual hikes slowed down in the indices of meat at 19.2 percent; and milk, cheese
and egg, 1.0 percent. Other food groups exhibited annual decreases, except other cereals, flour, cereal
preparations, bread, pasta, and other bakery products which retained its previous month’s annual rate of

Function of Money
Money is transferable and deferrable —the seller can hold on to it
and buy when the time is right. Many argue that complex
civilizations could never have arisen without the flexibility of
exchange that money allows. Money also gives a yardstick for
deciding the value of things. If all goods have a monetary value, we
can know and compare every cost
